Construction projects generally involve a long period of construction, huge financial investment and more problems that need to be faced in the development process. Several risk factors have to be encountered, among those one of the major risk factors is Manpower Management. Though the construction sector employs more people than other industries do, its human resource management is still poor and ineffective. This review paper concentrates on a workforce that directly contributes to the building process, labours, site engineers, and engineers or contractors. This study helps engineers or contractors to understand the value of labour resource management in the project to effectively manage them in construction projects. The primary issues in managing labour resources in construction projects have been identified with the help of a literature survey. The major problems identified will be considered for further investigation on manpower management.
Key words: Construction projects / risk factors / workforce / manpower management / literature survey
